Almost any piano, old or new, grand or upright, can play by itself when fitted with the Pianomation™ Reproducing System. Its capabilities are almost limitless. It can play with the breadth and power of a great concert artist, or the suave sophistication of the finest cocktail pianist. Or, it can simply entertain you like a good old-fashioned player piano.
 
Pianomation™ actually plays your acoustic piano, just like a fine artist. The keys move up and down, the hammers strike the strings, and the sound you hear is created by your piano, not an electronic imitation of a real piano. The Pianomation™ installation will not alter your piano's touch or tone in any way.
